Clinical commentary 臨床

Hagansaengjihwang-san from 1.15 given again for bleeding from any site, with a modification the earlier entry lacked: cinnamon where the pulse is faint. 無寒證者 — where there is no cold pattern — is the qualification, and the cinnamon is for when that qualification starts to fail. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
